2007: Sean Taylor, a free safety for the Washington NFL team, dies at the age of 24 after being shot the day before by intruders at his Miami, Florida, area home. His death would lead to an outpouring of national support and sympathy, especially in the Washington, D.C., area, where Taylor had been a fan favorite, and in the Miami area, where Taylor had starred for the Miami Hurricanes in college. Five suspects were arrested in connection with the burglary and shooting, with one of them pleading guilty and receiving a 29-year prison sentence in May 2008. Two others were found guilty in 2013 and 2014 and sentenced to terms of 57 and a half years and life in prison. The two remaining suspects are still awaiting trial.
